XOOL 210 PCS Watch Repair Kits, Including Watch Battery Change Kit, Watch Case Opener, Link Remover, Spring Bar Tools, Screwdrivers, and Portable Carrying Case with Instruction Manual

I have a Fossil watch that has arrows pointing in opposite directions on each link. I needed the band resized and every jeweler I took it to tried and failed. I bought a watch repair kit (not this one) and immediately destroyed it when trying to remove the link pin. Out of a lack of options, I bought this one. IT WORKED! It is very sturdy with a lot of interchangeable parts. It is an incredible kit and I highly encourage anyone who needs to do anything with a watch to buy this one. I am now wearing an engraved watch that my daughter gave me nearly two years ago and couldn't wear until I got this kit.

Worked for Longines back.

Good kit for watch maintenance and band replacement.

I am giving this 5 stars largely based on cost. I have 5 inexpensive watches that needed batteries and this did the trick for all of them. Additionally the kit would be great for taking out links to adjust band size. The quality of the tools are fine for my purposes but not necessarily what a professional would use. I was able to remove all backs without a scratch but could see how it could happen so if its an expensive watch you may not want to take the chance. I did watch a YouTube video first to get an idea of how to do it. First determine what type of watch back you have. The screw off back should have little grooves or indentations along the outer edge of the back. If it's smooth it's likely a pop off back. For my screw off watch back I found it necessary to remove a pin from the bracelet type watch strap to allow the straps to lay to each side and not be in the way. I then used the silver "wrench" which has different bits for different grooves so it took a little trial and error to find the correct shape. There are 3 bits needed for the tool and 5 different shapes so be sure you are using the same 3 bit shapes in the wrench. Next screw the watch to the provided anchor block, just holding it in my hand didn't work for me. Now line up the "wrench" and thighten the bits in place although they will still have a slight wiggle so while applying a little pressure turn the back counter clockwise all while holding the anchor block in place with the hand. For the pop off backs I found that using the little knife where the strap connects allows you to twist against it and pop off the back easily. If you only have the pop off type backs and are just replacing the battery you could likely use a knife like tool at home rather than purchasing this kit. Hope this helps.

Great product, no problems

Package arrived early and was exactly as ordered. Not had a chance to use yet, but this contains enough tools to get started working on watches. In fact, you will see this exact kit used in many YT videos.

Watches are very exacting. You need (like plumbing) exactly the right size and function for fixing every part. That said, you're unlikely to find everything that's needed in one well-priced kit. E.g., the vice was too small for holding the (large) watch face. The tool I most needed, as it turned out, was one that collapsed a toilet paper--holder-like piece so that you could put the (collapsed) ends of the straps into the plastic part adjoining the watch face's indentations. To be fair, this is an awful set-up for doing this task - the indentations are too small and the material too squishy (more like silicone than rubber or hard plastic) to hold it in. Nonetheless, you need a tool that firmly presses the end in, and the metal in this tool is too weak to rely on this working - it would rather bend. After too many adventures and too much lost time, I said uncle, this is enough! and gave up the idea of saving $ by changing watch batteries or straps myself. This particular watch requires disassembling one strap to open up the back, among other things, a needlessly complicated design for a relatively cheap watch, so buying tools was the only way to do this. Ultimately, I also discovered that a gasket was missing, which meant that the watch wasn't water resistant, and the company (Timex) no longer carried them (just like plumbing, I say, when the sizes available don't work). But the metal on this tool needed to be much harder, or it bends doing the job. Ergo, the need for a much more expensive kit, a trip to a jeweler, who quoted me between $20-$40 just to change the battery, or just tossing the watch altogether when the battery fails. The tool was supposed to have a replacement for the metal piece, but it wasn't in the kit. In all fairness, the kit does have a lot of different tools for working with watches, and if you're lucky enough to have a watch that's easier to work with than mine, it might be enough.

Pretty astonishing value. I'm impressed to get this entire kit for around 20 bucks. It's faaar from professional quality, but honesty it's worked great. I've used it to replace batteries, open tough casebacks, change straps, etc. It's really impressive for the money. Don't expect pro-quality level of gear, but fine for the beginner watch guy. I don't think you can go wrong.

Great buy! Quality is acceptable. I am able to modify my watches now

Great little set, perfect for what I needed

Excelente Kit para Diferentes tipos de Reloj.

Zeer mooi setjes. Past op alle horloges die wij in huis hebben. Ben er zeer blij mee omdat we nu zelf batterijen kunnen vervangen.
